This study evaluated the total (R t ), reversible (R rev ), irreversible (R irr ), and cake (R c ) resistances during microfiltration of watermelon juice (as a juice with colloid particles) and red plum juice (as a juice without colloid particles). Results showed that the total resistance decreased by about 45% when the feed velocity was increased during clarification of red plum juice due to change in cake resistance. Also, increasing the feed temperature from 20 to 30°C decreased the total fouling resistance by about 9% due to decreases in the irreversible and reversible fouling resistances. Also, mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane (which is hydrophilic) had a lower cake resistance compared to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (which is hydrophobic). Examination of the microfiltration of watermelon juice showed that R t decreased by about 54% when the feed temperature was increased from 20 to 50°C, partially due to the reduction of reversible fouling resistance by 78%. Also, increasing transmembrane pressures from 0.5 to 2.5 bars greatly increased total fouling resistance. The feed velocity had a different effect on fouling resistances during microfiltration of watermelon juice compared to red plum juice: in contrast with red plum juice, increasing the feed velocity for watermelon juice increased cake resistance.

This study investigates the potential of Australian Traditional foods as novel sources of natural colourants for food applications, employing untargeted metabolomics and chemometrics. Two native species were analysed: Davidson plum and native currant. The species were quantitatively assessed for colour properties using the CIELAB colour system in conjunction with Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time of Flight Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-ToF-MS/MS).

Domestic storage conditions can have a significant impact on the composition of phytochemicals and sugars in stone fruits. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two domestic storage temperatures (4 and 23 °C) on the physicochemical properties, phytochemical composition, and sugars of 'Rubycot' (RC) plumcot, a novel stone fruit variety, and 'Queen Garnet' (QG) plum. Initially, RC had a lower total anthocyanin concentration (TAC) than QG, but TAC in RC increased significantly ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
  • * Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the pathogen represents a unique evolutionary lineage within the Mucoromycetes, supported by microscopic examination distinguishing it from known species.
  • * Among fourteen tested fungicides, difenoconazole was the most effective in controlling the pathogen, followed by other compound formulations, laying the groundwork for effective management of this emerging plum disease.

The development of high-performance sensors for rapidly detecting acetylacetone (AP) in water samples is necessary because its release into the environment can result in many vital problems for human health and environment. Herein, we first designed a hybrid by integrating HOF with ZIF-8 through a sequential growth strategy. By separately introducing blue-emitting SiQDs and green- and red-emitting Tb and Eu into ZIF-8 and HOF, the resultant ZIF-8@SiQDs@HOF@Eu@Tb comprised three emission peaks at 484, 545 and 620 nm, all of which could be employed as switch-off responsive peaks to low concentrations of AP with a detection limit of 0.

Meat is a widely consumed food globally; however, variations in storage conditions along its supply chain can pose a potential food safety risk for consumers. Addressing this concern, we have developed freshness indicators designed to monitor the condition of packaged chicken. In this study, anthocyanins were infused with cellulose paper measuring 2 × 2 cm, and subsequent analysis focused on examining color changes concerning deteriorating chicken stored at 30°C for 48 h, with varying sample sizes being considered.
